DIY repray job

[your mom]

well, let's say that i sand all the paint off my scratched u[ tippy, and then let's say that i paint it with spray paint.

good idea, bad idea?

i've been thinking about this for a while now.
of course i'd use primer and then the colour of choice, but do you guys think it would work?

you can ,but it takes time to get a decent finish

Also make sure you take the marker apart first so you don't spray anything that needs to move etc....

To finish off the spray job try clear varnishing it... it should make the colours last longer and harder to chip/scratch...

Will be easier and look a whole lot better to get it stripped and re-annoed!

powder coats only come in black or gray, don't they?


and nbr, how stupid do you think i am, of course i know to gut it before spraying it!

Powder coatings come in lots of colors inc. candy colors, try to find somewhere that dose motor bike stuff as they will mask it up properly

thanx!

but if i did it myself, how tricky would it be, and should i keep more sand paper in prep. for stripping the cruddy paint off after i mess it up?
